; Dekigala; s/d/tr €60/80/95; )
This place is
all about location. Footsteps from the caldera (without the prices to match) and seconds
from the bus station (but thankfully out of earshot), it has fresh, immaculate rooms and
warm, helpful staff.

; Firostefani; d €70-80; )
Comfortable,
with a touch of character, these rooms at the heart of Firostefani are a great alternative to
the bustle of Fira. With caldera views, they're a near steal and the small, lovely pool and
verandahs are perfect for a lazy afternoon. Fira's centre is about 1.5km south, along a
lovely caldera-edge walkway.

Over-
looking the caldera at the quieter southern end of Fira, and more accessible than similar
places, this boutique hotel has charming service and plush, beautiful rooms. Built into the
side of the caldera, the traditional interiors are made all the more lovely with strong col-
our touches and individual touches like canopied beds, local art, books and stereos. Bal-
conies offer a feeling of complete seclusion.
